I am trying to find the parents of John George Kenny b 20-11-1895 in Dulwich, London.
I know his father was also John George Kenny from Waterford, Ireland & his mother was a Elizabeth McCullan but, I dont know when they were born or where Elizabeth was born.
I would also like to know wether John George Kenny 1895 had any siblings.
I hope someone can help please.
Thank you
Teri

Teri,

Dulwich comes under Camberwell district, hence the birth I listed. If you've applied for the birth certificate where is the reference on FreeBMD?

There's this but it's 1898 not 1895 and the quarter is wrong.

Kenny John William G Wandsworth 1d 545, this must be the one but, his mothers name was Elizabeth McCullan.
A aunt told us that he was born at 52, Goodrich rd, Dulwich, London.
I have his marriage cert to Nettie Rayner & it is 1898, so you have the one Portland Rose, THANK YOU.
If you could find any info on his father that would be great.
Thank you again

Teri,

I still think this is the one you need because it fits with the place and date of birth:

Births Mar 1896
Kenney John George Camberwell 1d 836

I think you're better off getting the marriage cert to check the father's name:

Marriages Sep 1916
Kenny John G Rayner Camberwell 1d 1438

This one doesn't use William as a middle name.
